Yesterday evening some teens started a fire in our back yard in the garbage can. The can burned to the ground and the thing is this is the fifth time they have tried. Last week three times phone books were thrown into the can and set fire but ended up going out. This time they susceeded and the can melted to the ground.

The thing is I had moved the can away from the house and they had moved the can back to in front of the window and we did not hear them.

We have an idea who is doing this but have no proff as we cannot catch them at it.

Unfortunate, to be sure, but we've probably been saying something to the effect of "kids these days" for generation upon generation...

I have a surefire way of catching them.To the side of the bin pile 3 kegs of beer which cannot be moved.They will drink the lot then you can go out and scoop up whats left and phone the police.

Failing that claymore mines are really effectivelaugh

You could get a motion detection camera to put out there. They're fairly inexpensive and you can catch the kids red handed and turn it over to the Mounties.

I like the firecracker idea too but that could be a bit dangerous and get you into trouble hug

I believe the teens today are worse than in my day especially the way they talk back, have you heard them on the bus.

If these are the same ones they have also spray painted over the sides of the townhouses and set other fires at a school. We do not know why they are targeting us.

They do not stay around they start the fire and take off, was thinking off a camera myself but since the can is melted they have nothing else to start the fire in now.

Boredom tho .. most of it isn't it.

It happens all over the place.. bored kids.. nothing to do.. cheap thrills.


The kids around here were blowing the heads of my neighbours garden gnomes recently.

(much to her chagrin.. and my hilarity!) giggle

update

tonight they set the large dumpster on fire that is right behind us and the toy box we have in the yard.

others came forward and told on them and were warned to stay away from this complex or will be arrested.

They should find another place for a 'bon fire.' Kids just want to hang out with each other. It's wrong what they did. In my small part of the world, they have a park and the cops let them cuz they all met, worked out the safety issues and it's a meeting place. I'm sure they're doing other stuff to but kids are kids.
